'''Elrohir''', with [[Elladan]], was one of the twin sons of [[Elrond]], born in the early years of the [[Third Age]]. They performed many deeds of errantry throughout that Age, and fought in the [[War of the Ring]].

'''Elrohir''' and his twin brother [[Elladan]] were the children of [[Celebrían]] and [[Elrond]]. Dark-haired and grey-eyed, only those that knew them well could tell them apart.
